Kenny Churchwell III brings versatile, experienced secondary play to UCLA
Kenny Churchwell III stood out for UCLA as a tough, multi-use defensive back who combined production and versatility, including strong tackling, ball disruption, and the kind of field awareness coaches value in a hybrid safety/corner piece. In 2023, UCLA listed him as a defensive back, and reporting noted 34 tackles, an interception, a forced fumble, and three passes defended in his senior season, while ESPN’s profile also reflects a broader career résumé built on reliability and range. He looks like a fit for teams needing a disciplined, physical DB who can help in coverage and run support rather than just chase highlight plays.[1][3][6]
